Brighton Travel Guide

The city of Brighton is one of England's most exciting seaside
destinations. Renowned for its cosmopolitan characters, diverse
(and sometimes dizzying) entertainment venues and unsurpassed
nightlife, local and international tourists flock to this city at
every chance they get, be it for a long weekend or a summer
vacation, and Brighton remains one of the most popular day trip
destinations from London for foreign visitors. The stripy
deckchairs on the iconic Brighton Pier have become an instantly
recognisable image of the English seaside.

Brighton's modern atmosphere is strongly contrasted by some of
its older Regency and Victorian architecture. The charming village
lanes are home to numerous cafés, antique shops and
jewellery stores, while not far away, the Palace Pier stretches out
over the lapping waves of the sea, the lights and music from its
funfair and amusement arcades luring vast, raucous crowds.

During the summer, the pebbled Brighton Beach (surprisingly
comfortable!) and its waterfront bars and clubs become a vibrant
'anything goes' zone, with locals and vacationers alike throwing
all caution to the wind and revelling in the laid-back, summery
atmosphere.
